Beyond The Veil
ParallelDice for Lua-Selene Vitani
[Ensemble Role || African American]
Lua-Selene is the youngest of the Vitani sisters, just 10 years old—and the most quietly haunted. Once bright and playful, Lua witnessed something traumatic at a young age that fractured her trust in her eldest sister, Lumiera. Though she doesn’t remember all of it consciously, her body remembers the fear. Her voice tightens around Lumiera’s name. Her laughter dims when shadows crawl too close.
Despite her fear, Lua is observant, imaginative, and deeply creative. Her unique gift—manipulating music to create harmony or horror—makes her one of the most powerful students at Pneuma’s School for the Gifted. When she plays, her emotions become melody, and that melody can shatter glass or hold enemies in place.
Lua is a soft-spoken child, but not passive. She’s curious, stubborn in quiet ways, and forms strong attachments to people who make her feel safe. Her emotional arc explores healing, memory, and learning to trust again.

[SINGING INCLUDED: Please sing "Remember Me" from Coco ]
[observant, dry] “You know, if talking in circles was a weapon, half this family would be armed to the teeth. Just saying.”
[soft, self-aware] “They call it a blessing. My power. But people flinch when the room goes quiet around me. I think... I think they’re waiting for the music to turn dangerous again.”
